Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives (LUK 22:39-46)

[22:39] And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

[22:40] And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

[22:41] And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,

[22:42] saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

[22:43] And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

[22:44] And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

[22:45] And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,

[22:46] and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
